I like the idea of teaching students about using a Thesaurus and how they can find one online. I like to you the thesaurus built into word and right click on a word to find its synonym. I like how you are allowing students to use their own writing. I bet every student feel more confident about their lexicon at the end of this lesson. I also like the idea of giving the students a list of over used words so they know what they should be looking for. Once students find overused words, they have already made a list of words they can use to replace them with.

Nice topic. Think before you click. This should help you out when you are teaching so you are not stuck with students loosing their work. I really like the fact that even if you get an answer right the program explains why you got it right. I also like the hints and clues you give students who get the question wrong. I like how you explain how each incorrect answer specifically is incorrect instead of just saying “Wrong” and sending the student back. The only suggestion I would make would be to make the questions shorter. It seemed like a lot to read on one slide. I like the screenshot pictures though.

Very Nice! I would like to see some examples of student work. This is a bit different then the book reports I had to do in front of the class as a student. I like the Interaction connection part of the assignment. Where students are asked to create similarities between their challenges and the challenges the character in the biography has faced. This gives the assignment more meaning to the student because it is about him and he has to think about the text to relate it to him.

I like the idea of the Pre test. Does the students results from the pretest change their lesson in any way? For example, if a student get a question correct about poetry in the pretest the student then get to skip the poetry part of the lesson because they are already know the material. I don’t know why but the videos didn’t work on my computer but I assume, from other comments, that they are trailers from films. Videos make things very easy for some students to understand. Some of the questions can just be answered by clicking on the background.
